In Kenya, the Eastern African Coastal Database and Atlas Project developed a comprehensive database, covering all subjects of importance to Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICAM). The GIS unit provides and develops maps for different purposes to decision-makers, planners and researchers. Maps of the project are being used in several ICAM programmes. |

|
The database consists of ArcView based GIS layers and a set of attribute tabular data. Requests for data can be addressed to Kenya Marine Fisheries Research Institute or the project team. The major topics (GIS Layers) covered are: Administration & Infrastructure | Biological Resources Climate | Geomorphology & Geology | Hydrology Culture & Tourism | Environmental Hazards | Fisheries
The information contained in the GIS database is as accurate as possible within the limitations of scale and is supplied in good faith. However, any indication of legal status of land, the delimitation of gazetted protected areas, the existence of public roads and access, depth of water, or any such information, cannot be presumed to be proof of the same and the publishers cannot be held responsible for errors. |
